TARGUS WIFI SCANNER Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Targus WiFi Scanner. The Targus scanner quickly identifies all access points in the area. It detects 2.4Ghz WiFi signals (802.11b/g) from access points within 200 feet (61 m) outdoors and 60 feet (18 m) indoors. It also features an LCD display of SSID, Signal Strength, Secure/Open, and Channel Number. Keychain loop LCD Activation button Battery compartment Installing the Batteries 1 Slide the battery door toward the top of the housing.

When a WiFi access point is located, the scanner's LCD will display: › the access point's SSID (service set identifier); › a set of one to four bars indicating signal strength (one bar equals weak signal and four bars equals strong signal) ; › the words "Secure" or "Open" to indicate the network's encryption status; › the channel that the access point is broadcasting will be displayed (number 1 to 13).

802.11b and 802.11g access points. It will not detect 802.11a signals. Site survey - Use the scanner to determine where your home or office coverage extends, and where the optimal locations for use of the network are. Security - The scanner can be used to determine whether your home or office network is "leaky". The device can detect whether your access point's signal extends beyond your walls, and whether it is secured. The scanner can also help you detect "rogue" access points.

point on which the SSID broadcast has been disabled, it will typically display "Cloaked" instead of an SSID. Signal Strength The scanner displays an image of one to four vertical bars, indicating the relative strength of the signals detected by the scanner. By scanning repeatedly, you may be able to determine whether you are moving closer to or farther from a network access point by watching the increase or decrease in the relative signal strength.

You may wish to use the scanner when configuring your home or office network to determine what channels are least likely to experience interference. Troubleshooting I am seeing strange symbols in the SSID readings/ the LCD display is faint/ the WiFi Scanner is inconsistent in detecting networks. • These are all possible symptoms of a low battery. I am receiving inconsistent signal strength indications. • The scanner determines signal strength based on a very small sample.

following: (i) check your SSID for non-alphanumeric characters; (ii) temporarily lower your default data rate; or (iii) enable the broadcast of your SSID. The scanner detects most, but not all access points that have been configured to disable the broadcasting of their SSIDs.
